Lyrics

They say David was small, but, oh my!
Little David was small, but, oh my!
He fought big Goliath who just laid down and dieth,
Little David might have been small, but, oh my!
Well, it ain't necessarily so,
No, it ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable to read in the bible
They ain't necessarily so
Oh, Now Jonah, he lived in a whale
They say old Jonah, he lived in a whale
Now he made his home in that fish's abdomen
Oh, Jonah, resided in a whale
Oh, to get into heaven - Don't snap for a seven
I'll live fresh, have my faults
Oh, I'll take that gospel whenever it's possible with a grain of salt
Oh, they say Methuselah lived nine hundred years
Well, old Methuselah lived nine hundred years
And who calls that living when no girls gonna give in
To no man,
What's nine hundred years? Oh!
Oh, to get into heaven - Don't snap for a seven
Oh, I'll live fresh, have my faults
Oh, I'll take that gospel whenever it's possible with a grain,
Oh, a grain of salt!
They say little Moses was found in a stream,
Little Moses, he was found in a stream,
He floated on water till ole Pharaoh's daughter
Fished him, she says, from that stream!
But it ain't necessarily so, no, it ain't necessarily so
They tell all your children that the devil, he's a villain
But it ain't necessarily so,
No, it ain't necessarily so
No, it ain't, it ain't necessarily so!
